Uh oh, Walker dodges question about staff using private emails!!!

I edited together the following outtake reel from WKOW’s
website today, and found the opening question and Scott Walker answer very
interesting, because it goes beyond even what the Journal Sentinel wrote about today.

While reporter Jason Stein talked to a few aides, the video shows Walker dodging the same question; does his current staff use personal emails for any reason during work hours.

Reporter: "Have you given any instructions to your current office...those who work in your office right now about whether or not they can use personal email to do any business, whether it be campaign or state business." Walker: "We haven't done that recently, we've had a policy in place since I became governor...we have a very elaborate ethics and code of conduct policy, I know my staff the last few days talked about."

See that and more of his odd reactions:

Here's what Jason Stein uncovered:

Aide won't say if Walker staff uses private email for state
business … Gov. Scott Walker's office never had its own hidden Internet system
as his office in Milwaukee County did, aides said.But spokesman Tom Evenson didn't directly answer whether
aides in the governor's office frequently used private email accounts to
communicate on sensitive political topics outside of the state official system.
"From day one, establishing and maintaining ethical standards has been a
priority for Gov. Walker and his administration. The emails have shown a widespread use of private email accounts in the Milwaukee County officeThe Journal Sentinel has requested copies of the signed
ethics policies.

Politics: Just a guy tired of "compromising." Stop encouraging Republicans when it comes to their failed ideology.
I was once a liberal radio talk host. Played co-host to Vicki McKenna, a complete liar who can't can't stop filling the airwaves with mindless babble.
I'm someone who enjoys the the painful smiles of conservatives as they struggle to deny the avalanche of facts tumbling their way. They seem preoccupied with spelling and grammar.
